Did David Grohl dis Wilco last night?


Recommended Posts

Is it just me, or was Grohl of the Foo Fighters going after Jeff at the Grammy Nominations show last night?

 

First he said something about not having his nudie suit, and then he made a comment about it being an honor just to be nominated for a Grammy. What a sore winner.

Is Jeff the only musician who ever wore a Nudie suit??

Maybe he forgot he won.

Either Tweedy or Farrar, I forget how exactly the story goes, chucked Nevermind out of the window of the Uncle Tupelo tour van. They claimed it sounded like Whitney Houston.

That's messed up that they were litterbugs.

I've met him. He is a super nice dude. I'm sure he has a similarly famous musician sized ego as a lot of folks. This might all be part of a Kanye/Fifty Cent type feud that could boast bigger record sales for Foo Fighters and Wilco in 2009. (Insert false gossip of feud here to boost word of mouth publicity)

Seems to me that saying, "It was an honor to win a Grammy at a nominations ceremony would be a dick thing to do, or at least situation-inappropriate. At the nomination ceremony, you talk about how happy you were to be nominated; when you win, you get up there and say, "Fuck all y'all, winnin' RULES!"

 

I won't even cast a vote for coincidence - it's just completely unrelated to Wilco.

Oh bother. Grohl coughs up outdated jock rock. None of his albums amount to a hill of beans or will be remembered. Wilco is a band that will continue to live well beyond any of the band members. In the catalogue of American rock music, Grohl will be remembered as the last of many drummers for a three album meteoric rock band, not for anything he's done since. He may be a perfectly nice guy, but his music is shit.

I can relate to a lot of your gripes, they are a bit jock rock and nothing they've done lately has pleased my ears all that much. I think where you're wrong is that albums like S/T and the Colour and the Shape will be remembered fondly for being good nineties rock music. That said, they are unusual to be the efforts of a drummer after his famous rock band expired. The only drummer I can think of that was so successful as songwriter/band leader after his band expired is Phil Collins.

Not to be nit-picky or anything but
